You're welcome! I know that it can seem very confusing and mysterious! If you call the union and tell them you are interested in membership they will send you exactly what I posted. good luck :)

Everything you ever wanted to know about joining Local 600: Attached is C.S.A.T.F.’s roster information sheet on how to get placed on the roster and to qualify for the union. CSATF (Contract Services Administration Trust Fund) is the establishment that administers the paperwork for roster placement. Typically, once you are placed on the appropriate roster Local 600 will receive notification and we will send you application materials to join The International Cinematographer’s Guild Local 600. For further information, please contact Scott Geraldi at CSATF 818-995-0900. To: Prospective Members and Members Seeking Roster Placement From: Member Services, Local 600 Date: April 10, 2008 Subject: Local 600 Commercial Roster and Industry Experience Roster If you wish to work in Los Angeles, be hired and transported out of Los Angeles, or work anywhere within the thirteen (13) Western States under the Hollywood Basic Agreement, you must be placed on the Industry Experience Roster. Placement on the Roster does not mean that you are a member of Local 600. You may be a member of Local 600 without being placed on the Roster. Under the terms of the Hollywood Basic Agreement and the Local 600 Agreement, employers are required to give preference of employment to persons who are on the Motion Picture Industry Experience Roster, which is maintained by Contract Services Administration Trust Fund, also known as Contract Services or CSATF. Contract Services is an independent organization that was established to administer the Industry Experience Roster. There are two (2) Rosters (the Industry Experience Roster and the Television Commercial Roster). How to be placed on the Industry Experience Roster: 1) If a producer can demonstrate that qualified camera craftspeople are not available in a given classification, the producer may seek craftspeople from other sources. In the event, thirty (30) days in one (1) job classification within a one (1) year period immediately preceding the date of application. 2) If you are working for a non-signatory (non-union) employer and that employer becomes signatory (union) by signing the Hollywood Basic Agreement, you will be eligible for roster placement after accumulating thirty (30) work days in one (1) job classification under the union contract with that signatory company. Days must be within a one (1) year period, immediately preceding the date of application. 3) Director Of Photography, Camera Operator, Still Photographer, First and Second Assistant may demonstrate one hundred (100) days of paid work experience in one (1) job classification within a three year period, immediately preceding the date of application. Film Loaders are exempt from using this method and will need to refer to methods # 1, 2 & 4. 4) By demonstrating a total of thirty (30) union work days collectively with one or more producers under Local 600’s Amendment Agreement which covers camera persons hired and employed in the thirty-seven (37) states of the Central and Eastern Regions only.

Note: All such work experience must be performed in connection with motion pictures of the type covered under Basic Agreement, Videotape Supplement, Digital Supplement, work in the Commercial field covered by the Commercial Supplement, or on bona fide music videos or documentaries.

To then qualify for the Industry Experience Roster, an additional ninety (90) days of commercial work experience are required. The additional work experience may follow the guidelines for placement on the Industry Experience Roster.
